Vfae Board tar The Lynbrook Village Board held its regular meeting on Monday, Feb. 7th. Highlighting the meeting was the making of two appoint- ments by the Mayor, and Board. Mr. Luis Bejarano, long-time Lyn- brook resident, vvas appointed to the Library Board. Mr. Bejarano served the Village in'the same capacity for many years, earlier in his illustrious career, which includes credits too numerous to mention here. Also appointed was Anthony Zarba, present manager of the Nathan Hale Senior Housing Complex, to be the Board Liai- son for Senior Citizen Housing Studises. Mr. Zarba will remain in his present capacity but will now also look into finances, matters concerning the State Housing Authority and HUD, all with an eye toward expanding Senior Citizen Housing in Lynbrook. (See photos below.) A representative of Big Brothers/Sisters of Nassau County was on hand discussing the organization's programs and especially the \Battle of the Villages\ on Feb. 20th. Mayor Glenn Spielman urged anyone who could help the organization by volunteering, to do so. A new fire truck committee was appointed to look into replacing the Rescue Squad's 1970 GMC Van, which is becoming non-func- tional and increasingly difficult to get supplies to repair. In connec- tion with fire department repairs. Truck No. 423 (Tally-Ho), a 7- year old Seagrave is now at that company's plant in Elmira for re- pairs. Valley Stream has loaned the LFD a truck to replace the one out for repairs. Parking regulations around Rockville Cemetery, specifically on the north side of Merrick Road, were discussed and Police Chief Frank Kehr reported that it was his opinion that the regulations (change to No Parking) should not be changed. The parking is due to an overflow from Hot Skates and if they cannot park on Merrick Road they will just go to a nearby residential street, Charles, etc. He suggested that the Cemetery (which is not in the Village of Lyn- brook) hire a security guard or erect a higher fence on Merrick Road to reduce vandalism. The Lynbrook/East Rockaway Lions Club advised of a Health Fair to be held Feb. 23rd at the Elks Club (previsouly reported in this paper); Adams-Russel presented a Cable TV update, noting that the institutional turnon was on scheduled for the end of February; the Tax Lien Sale was set for April 12th, after proper publication and notification; March 7th was set for public hearings on the use of Revenue Sharing funds and amending the Plumbing Code. A Public Hearing on a request for a Special Exception by Hub Truck Rental was held as a part of this meeting. Hub desires to en- larte its present building in the rear, thus eliminating on-site park- ing below the minimum prescribed by law. Hub, operating at 170 Merrick Road, for over 25 years, said they needed the enlarged building for repair work and noted that they also owned a nearby parcel which is used for parking. No resident spoke in opposition to the request and the Board reserved decision. Next meeting Feb. 15th at 4 p.m. as part of Grievance Day activities (replaces Feb. 2 1st meeting). 'If you bow at all, bow low.'
